function CreateRegions takes nothing returns nothing
local weathereffect we

set udg_rect01=Rect(-2848.0,-3488.0,-2592.0,-3232.0)
endfunction

Basically thats a jass function. Its creating a region.

What i dont understand is after deleting 50 some regions, jass helped wont
help me fix what needs to be fixed. I need only around 20 regions created.

The regions that were deleted were regions that blocked bullets from hitting walls,
and grenades from hitting walls. For some reason there still in the game, and
are still working.

I need to reset this trigger so that the only regions created are the ones that
are NOW set, and not the ones that were set previously.

THe problem? The =Rect(-2848.0,-3488.0,-2592.0,-3232.0) i believe this
is using coordinates, in which case i have no idea how to use.

In coordinates i only know of 3 variables you have to enter. This shit has 4.
WTF?

1. thats creating a rect, not a region.

2. 4 inputs are xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax. why would it take 3? noob..

Rect is the same as region

Well, regions are made up of multiple rects, but they serve the same purpose
The gui uses both, but calls them all regions (in an attempt to be less confusing)

Theres 4 numbers because you are drawing a rectangle

Like i said before, you can just use pre-placed regions like you normally would

If you insist on using the Rect() jass function it works like how normor said

Heres a visual:


So Rect(-10, -10, 10, 10) would put a region in the center of the map



As for them still working even after you deleted them

Look in the triggers for the grenades and bullets, there may be some rects that are hardcoded into those triggers
Anywhere you see udg_rect##=Rect(##,##,##,##) you can delete it if you want to make sure theres no old regions from the original stuff

And check the variables too, they might be pre-set, but you probably already wouldve checked something like that

HAH PAT UR TOO LATE I ALREADY FIGURED IT OUT! HAHAHAHAH IN UR FUCKING FACES.

(amazing now realizes how stupid the above comment was and would like to appologize.)
(while still admiting he finally did something on his own.)

I didnt respond the other day cause you said "no one has responded in the past x mins, post now!!"

And now you do that

Im just not even going to try to help you anymore
Most likely youll realize the other thing thats wrong soon and will be posting here again
But im not responding to it

Amaz isn't using gui.

Therefore, region =/= rect.

Gui doesnt use both, they use just rect, and call it region.

I know he wasnt using gui, i said that cause he used gui more then jass, has more experience with it, and understands it better

Region does = rect
Regions are made up of multiple rects
They do the same things, and are used for the same things
You could replace a region with a rect or vice versa and the result would be the same

The gui uses both
Sometimes its rect() other times its createregion()
This is only when you create regions with the gui trigger editor

Pre-placed regions are all rects
Regions created using the gui trigger editor are either rect or region
The gui always calls them regions

Theres no Region - Create Region in the gui
But i remember there being a way to create a region using something in the gui
It was there that i remember seeing CreateRegion()
I cant remember what it was though, its been awhile since then

Pat, l o l. come on, now you're just being difficult.

Region in GUI = rect in jass, of course.

But since amaz wants to use jass..

region does not equal rect in jass! they are two separate variable types.. sure you can use them for similar purposes, but they are NOT interchangable variable types.

I was trying to highlight this point to amaz so he doesnt make that mistake

Oh, i didnt think he would make a mistake like that

In fact i didnt even think of a mistake like that being made
Now i see how what i said might cause someone to make a mistake
